Belkin Router: F5D7230-4 V2000 not getting correct IP Address

This is what I wrote to Belkin:

The IP address that is on the internet settings shows "Wan IP 24.255.29.226." My web page hasn't been viewable for a few weeks and I decided that I would try & hook the cable modem right in to a computer to made sure the Router was not messed up. When I connected the cable modem directly in to the computer the IP address that "ipconfig /all" shows is this "68.0.167.135". Then I hooked the router back up and the WAN IPADDRESS still shows the wrong one. When I do "ipconfig /all" with the router connected it shows the "24.255.29.226" address. Would this be an indication that the router is not functioning properly? I reset the factory settings and put everything back the way I had them and it still didn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Have you ever heard of this problem before? Thanks for your help.They wanted me to update my firmware, but the web address they gave me doesn't have a firmware upgrade for V2000. The firmware version I have is 4.05.03. If anyone knows of a compatible firmware upgrade or any suggestion that would be great. Here is the information about the setup I have:Here is the information about my modem and router.I have Cox Internet service, dynamic IP I am assuming. Modem: AMBIT with a model number of U10C018Router: F5D7230-4 Version 2000 Firmware 4.05.03 Boot Version 2.01.09 Serial BEL1URH5Thanks for any help

I can log in and access the router. I have set it to the factory settings and it still didn't change the IP address.I can log in and access the router. I have set it to the factory settings and it still didn't change the IP address.

The IP Addresses that the router assigns is fine. It's the actual IP Address of the router itself, or the IP address of my network. When I go to the status page of the router it shows a WAN IP Address. This IP address should the the IP that the Cable Modem is getting from Cox, at least that I what I think it should be. I have a DNS server that uses my IP Address to access my web page & the address that the router gives I can not connect to. I can't connect just using the IP address either. But the IP address that I get when I just have the Cable Modem plugged in to a computer works great. Does that clarify my problem/question?

The computers that are connected to the router do get IP address through the range of 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.149. I also believe that it has to be something within the router. I am not sure if it would be in the setting though, since I can put it back to the factory settings and the IP address that it shows is still not the one that the Cable Modem gives out. The firmware update that you found is the one that is already installed on the router. I did reinstall it through just to be sure, but still nothing. Could it be something with the Cable Modem? I wouldn't think so since it gives the right IP address out when it is connected to just a computer. I am about to just say the router is dead and go buy a new one to see if that works. Belkin isn't doing a good job either at helping because every time they write me I have to explain to them that I have already tried to do what they have asked. I have to tell them to look in call history. Anyway, thanks again for looking at my problem I appreciate it.The computers that are connected to the router do get IP address through the range of 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.149.

One thing to try to recognize is that your computer is getting it's ip address from the router. Somewhere in the settings, router has been changed to only assign ip addresses between a certain range. Usually the range is 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.199, thus allowing you to connect several pc's through one router. You will need to ensure that the same ip address that you had when you connected directly to the modem is the same that is assigned to the router. You can usually find this setting under "status". You may have to re establish the range that I spoke about earlier. I am currently looking into the support page for this router to see if there is a way to reset the default web settings. If all else fails you can always manually configure the ip addresses on your computers.One thing to try to recognize is that your computer is getting it's ip address from the router.

Are you able to log in to the router to access the settings. I am not familiar with the Ambit Modem, but I'm guessing there is something amiss with the settings on the router.Are you able to log in to the router to access the settings.

It sounds as if the computer that is wired to the router should have an ip address assigned by router somewhere in the range of 192.168.2.2 through 192.168.2.149. The router that you speak of might have the ability to be used as a "bridge" thus throwing off some of the settings. It seems as though you have the ability to have the router set up its own WAN IP. Which is for the wireless aspect of the router. Even with that though the default gateway should still be the address that you type in the browser to access your router's settings. The Belkin web site did offer a firmware update for your particular model as well and I will include that site too.http://www.belkin.com/support/article/?lid=en&pid=F5D7231-4&aid=5388&scid=221

The quick fix: make sure your router's DNS settings are properly set to an External IP address. If DNS1 or DNS2 show up as internal IPs such as: 192.168.1.x, then your Roku won't connect to the Internet.

Here is the detailed fix:

Login to your router. (typically this is done through an internal ip address like 192.168.1.100). You enter this IP address directly into your web browser same as you would a website. **NOTE some people actually enter web addresses into Google, and then navigate that way. This won't work. Enter the IP address directly into the browser's Location or Navigation bar at the top. This will take you to your router's login screen. *NOTE sometimes the router's default password is "password". But it's possible that your password was changed during installation. If you don't have your router's password, contact your Internet provider.

Once logged into your router, navigate to its DNS settings. My guess is that if your Roku isn't working, it's because rather than an external IP address being used for your DNS, the router is set to use an internal IP address. (Your computer is able to overcome this because it has built-in DNS settings, but the Roku looks to the router for this information.)

Replace the internal DNS address with a public DNS address. What worked for us was using Google's public DNS. So set DNS1 to 8.8.8.8 and DNS2 to 8.8.4.4 .

Save your settings.

Run the Roku setup again. If you still aren't able to connect to the Internet, then bounce (unplug) the router. Leave it unplugged for 15 seconds. Then power it back up. Try again with the Roku. If that doesn't work, bounce the Roku. Leave it unplugged for 15 seconds, plug the power back in. The 15-second rule with computers and hardware is surprisingly effective.

If you've set the DNS properly, your Roku should now (finally) connect to the Internet. When this happens, it will complete its setup process and you should be good to go.

yes, I hate motorola hardware, though most likely you dont have a choice because its what the cable company wants you to use.

there is a trick though, if the surf board will talk to a computer then get online with the computer and get your IP address (type "cmd" into a run box and from there type "netconfig") it will show you a bunch of numbers. write down your IP address as well as your "gateway address" and DNS Server. usually something like 192.168.1.XXX for both of them though the dns server may say something differant.

now the tricky bit comes plug your computer into the belkin and the belkin into the router, reboot all network devices (not the computer but it doesnt hurt) get an address from the belkin and go to the service page usually "192.168.1.1" in an internet browser address bar. then tell the belkin to use the same DNS and gateway settings but increase the IP by 100 on the last octal. (just to insure the address isnt saved for something else so the IP will be 192.168.1.1XX

reboot all devices again. it should work. your tricking the surfboard into thinking your router is running talking to a computer that is forcing the IP. (ie network device or linux PC)

Are you sure you are connecting to your wireless router and not a
neighbors wireless router by accident? Try connecting to your router
using a ethernet cable and typing in its IP address. Your Netgear
routers default IP address should be 192.168.x.x (gateway address).

open internet explorer and type 192.168.x.x and the will get u to the
belkin router page and then click on mac address control and then type your password to get in to the router and it will take u to all the mac
address u have allowed or denied.

reset your Router via pin whole at its back then set the config of TCP/4 and obtain Ip automaticaly and obtain DNS automaticaly... later set your settings according by 192.168.1.2 without changing IP and then turn off you router ... turn it on after 5 to 10 min .. thank you

1.Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections. 2.Right-click the network connection that you want to configure, and then click Properties. 3.On the General tab (for a local area connection), or the Networking tab (for all other connections), click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.

Check the option which says use the following ip address and enter the ip address that you have forced in the belkin router, type thesubnet mask 255.255.255.0 and enter the default gate way the ip address of the belkin router (ip address that you use to open Belkins page)

Make sure your physical connection is correct. From the modem, the ethernet cable should plugged in to the Internet/WAN port of the router. And your computer to port 1. Access the setup page of the router again and Enable the MAC Address Clone setting. Clone the MAC Address of your PC there then power cycle the router and modem. You should be all set.

I received this solution from Belkin. It worked for me & I hope it does for you. Good luck!

Belkin solution:

Please follow the details given below:
1. Please contact your internet service provider to know the connection type details (Is it PPPOA,PPPOE, Dynamic or static)2.

How do you connect your Linksys router to Belkin router? Do you connect your Linksys router to the Internet/WAN port of the Belkin?

If so, what is the Internet connection type set in your Belkin router? Is it dynamic?

If the Belkin router is set to dynamic IP and if it is obtaining an IP address from your Linksys router(you may check the status page of your Belkin router and look for IP address), then you may need to forward or set that IP address as the DMZ to your Linksys router. Make sure that XBOX is still configured as the DMZ host in your Belkin

Hi tammyhope,
I would guess that your ISP is providing a dynamic IP address for connectivity to the internet. If your router is changing the IP address back to default, I would think that your configuration is not setup properly, to receive a dynamic address, but is set with a static address instead. So what happens is that when you attempt to connect to your ISP your router is resetting. If this is the case then you need to go into the router configuration and set it to recieve a dynamic address from your ISP.
